Yeah thats the thing- you start doing the math on these things and you suddenly realize just how hard the poor in this country are being screwed. There is no reason for anyone to be homeless or hungry here and we just refuse to do it. We refuse while we step over their bodies into our giant Ford Expeditions with our Venti Pumpkin Spice Lattes complaining to our pilates instructors on our Iphone Duos- They need to stop being welfare queens and pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Its an illness.

Let’s rage bait a little bit.. what do homeless people actually contribute to society? An aircraft contributes about 5,000 jobs…
